Still looking for input on this one. The whole post is a few posts back, but this is what I'm hoping people will weigh in on. Thanks! You already help up your end of the deal, he "breached the contract" with lack of communication. I would void the transaction.

Picked this up yesterday..

Great book and story Scott

Just showed up yesterday

the un-gradeable book, of many grades About 10 days ago, I bought a raw ASM 41(1st app of rhino) graded at VF+ for $300. I originally intended to submit it to cgc ... eventually, but first I thought I'd see what my fellow boardies thought. I got the book home, scanned it , and posted it in the PGM forum. I personally had the book graded at a solid 8.0. When the grades started coming in I was shocked. Most of the board members thought it was a 7.5, but some even went as low as 6.5. I even called a board friend to ask if I was way off, he agreed it was an 8.0. It was now Saturday morning, and I found myself looking at my book and looking at the grades in the thread over, and over again. "There's no way this in any lower then an 8.0" I said to myself. Finally I just said "screw it". I went online and filled out a cgc form. Express, with imaging. After my 10% member discount it wound up costing $106. Now I'm into this book for $406, which is a 9.0 price. I probably should have sent it standard but , I was way too impatient for that. So, I packaged it up, and shipped it out on Saturday hoping it would arrive by Monday. Monday came , and the first thing I did was check my order status. "Received", and now the waiting game begins. Tuesday,"verified". Wednesday,"graded". I stared at the serial number briefly, before clicking to see what my grade was. I had convinced myself that after pumping $400+ into this book, I was going to click the link and see 6.0 cream-off white. I clicked the link..... I was so shocked by the grade I actually thought it was clerical error. I called the same board friend I had called the week before, to ask him how cgc worked, if what I was looking at was just a temp grade, and if it would later be changed. I had never tracked a submission on line before, so this was new to me. He assured me that that was my grade, and that everyone, he and I included , was waaaaay off . My ASM 41, that I was sure was a 8.0 with a shot at 8.5, that everyone who graded it had it between 6.5-8.0, that I was so worried that I had invested way too much money into.. was now sitting in a cgc holder with off white to white pages and a universal grade of 9.4. 9.4!!!! I was still skeptical however. "No way was it a 9.4" I said to myself. I started looking at the 9.0s in my collection and deciding whether or not my 41 was better. I was about 50/50. It's Thursday now, "shipped". "Hm, It's on it's way" I thought, still feeling skeptical. I really had thought I was going to be getting the wrong copy of ASM 41. Later that night I got an email, it was the image I had requested form cgc. I checked my email.. "Wow, it really is a 9.4" It finally arrived yesterday, in all its near mint glory. It really does look great in the slab, and while I don't necessarily agree with the grade, I'm definitely not complaining. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

Gorgeous! very high on my want list

Thanks, It's def one of my favorite spideys

Ya See, the biggest reason I LOVE the cover of 39. Is because it's not an obvious move to super herodom. I know it says "Super-Hero" on the cover and all, but at 1st glance it looks like it could be just another pre-hero robot cover. I think that sets it apart from say JIM 83,ST 101 etc.

I'm gonna go Bash the X-men 1 club now...
